Galliani Blames Club World Cup
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani insists that Milan’s elimination from the Champions League is not the end of an era and he has put it down to focusing on the World Club Cup.
The Rossoneri were beaten 2-0 by the rampant young Gunners in a entertaining clash at San Siro but Galliani does not seem too worried.
“This is not the end of an era. We focused on Japan and winning the Club World Cup. It was our choice,” Galliani told Sky Sport Italia after the game.
“We knew it would cost a lot in terms of physical and psychological energy, but it remains an historic season and there is no need for it to change.
“I believe Arsenal played better than we did over the 180 minutes and so deserved to go through. No club has won the Champions League twice in a row since us in 1990-91, so we couldn’t break that taboo.
“We did really well in the opening 15-20 minutes and there was a period of Arsenal pressure, but we conceded a goal right when Arsenal seemed to be on a downward spiral.
“Unfortunately it was decided in midfield and we had some players returning from injury, others out completely like Clarence Seedorf, so it was very bad timing.
“This is football and we must focus on our next challenge. Let’s not forget we are the club with the most trophies in the world and in 2007 we won three prestigious cups.”
There were reports Carlo Ancelotti would be sacked if he failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals, but Galliani insists that the club have full confidence in their coach.
“Our President Silvio Berlusconi is fantastic and told the players that we can’t always win in football, so we have to keep going.”
Milan will be hoping they can improve their form in Serie A so they can ensure they qualify for the Champions League next season.

Galliani: We chose World Cup
Tuesday 4 March, 2008
Milan general manager Adriano Galliani insists this is not the end of an era and it was “a choice” to focus on the Club World Cup.
“This is not the end of an era. We put the priority on Japan and winning the Club World Cup. It was our choice.
“We knew it would cost a great deal in terms of physical and psychological energy, but it remains an historic season and there is no need to change.”
The Rossoneri were the reigning Champions League winners and also took the Club World Cup and European Super Cup, but exited the competition 2-0 to Arsenal.
“I believe Arsenal played better than we did over the 180 minutes and so deserved to go through. No club has won the Champions League twice in a row since us in 1990-91, so we couldn’t break that taboo,” said Galliani.
“We did really well in the opening 15-20 minutes and there was a period of Arsenal pressure, but we conceded a goal right when Arsenal seemed to be on a downward spiral.
“Unfortunately it was decided in midfield and we had some players returning from injury, others out completely like Clarence Seedorf, so it was very bad timing.
“This is football and we must focus on our next challenge. Let’s not forget we are the club with the most trophies in the world and in 2007 we won three prestigious cups.”
There were reports Carlo Ancelotti would be sacked if he failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals, but Galliani painted a different picture.
“Our President Silvio Berlusconi is fantastic and told the players that we can’t always win in football, so we have to keep going.
“It is a great shame that after so many years we went out in the second round, but we were unlucky to pick Arsenal so early.
“We did our duty and won our group, but Arsenal came second in theirs, so we crossed paths.”
Always the superstitious type, the Milan transfer guru looked to the future.
“We have reached the Champions League Final in odd years – 2003, 2005 and 2007 – so we book our ticket for 2009.”

peters said:Cant say his statement is entirely wrong. We did won 3 cups in 2007 and it were of the kind many clubs have problems to once achieve at all... we are CL holders and its natural for holders to go out quick.
As for buying strategy, we all know its poor in many ways and he will always try to defend it - which is logical, no matter how stupid it actually is.
MaldiniISgod said:For Galliani to say that we sacrificed the CHAMPIONS MOTHER FUCKING LEAGUE for that stupid joke of a competition is ridiculous.
I can't help but lose all respect for him when he says things like this, it's a making up excuses that everyone knows are bullshit to cover up for his poor performance. It is him as president that can't get us big singings, not the club. He doesn't know what we need and through his utter incompetence is dragging the club down.
As a fan of Milan I cannot respect him.

Dann said:You cannot replace all these players at once. It needs to be done slowly over a period of time otherwise the results will be catastrophic. Evolution, not revolution is the motto.
If Milan had of signed just one young player, every summer for the last four years, they would not be facing the predicament they are now in.
I would put this largely down to overconfidence. Milan have comfortably been the best team in Europe for the past five years, and this has led to the approach from Berlusconi and Galliani that they could keep going with the same experienced players year after year. For five seasons it has produced amazing success, but eventually it was going to come to an end.
this is an part of an article from goal.com and its what i've been saying for the past 2 years instead of us buying 2-3 players each season now we will need to buy 7 or 8 just to compete in the coming season's all because of galliani and berlusconi living in the past.
